Work ethics At Factorial, we know that building a great product means building a great team. We value some key principles that help us thrive together.

We tell our managers and peers things we think we cannot say, practicing radical candor to drive innovation and improvement. Effective Communication : Clear communication, especially in writing, is crucial. We communicate openly, build narratives, and aren't afraid to debate ideas. If we can't explain something clearly, we seek to understand more deeply until we can. And remember, English is our vehicular language, so you need to be comfortable with it!

We bring, execute, and later communicate solutions, seeking approval only for decisions that would be hard to reverse. Teamwork Ease : We collaborate well, adapt easily, and are open to feedback. We convince or get convinced, asking the same from everyone. If an initiative comes top-down, we debate it until we fully buy-in, then champion it to our teams. Fighting Complacency : We challenge the status quo and fight complacency with our whole hearts. We're vocal when something is going wrong, seeing it as an opportunity for a better world. Having Fun : While our work is serious, we trust our gut when we have a 10x motivation to try something new. We jump on opportunities for innovation, involving as many people as possible.
